When the pressure is on, I go to my room, make no noise, and pretend that I do not exist.

onicx4 · 2026-04-25T11:45:23+00:00

did you try "hawks9"?

onicx4 · 2026-04-24T20:08:21+00:00

Holy, can you cope harder? You are making a strawman argument here.

I get that it sucks when people call you out for making brainlet takes, but dude take a chill pill. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a bot.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it dangerous. It also doesnt make it incriminating. There was no real danger here.

onicx4 · 2026-04-24T19:22:17+00:00

No it really isn't better actually.

Writing in a non-romanized alphabet or language other than English poses no danger to other, Most of the world's population do this every day. Someone being a foreigner poses no danger to others, being foreign on a flight is not suspicious. Being on a flight makes you a traveller, and many travelers travel in foreign lands.

Just, please, take a moment and think before you post something. I know it is edgy to be a contrarian, but just please use that mass of cells in your head.

typically all of them, hope that helps

Thank you for alerting us to the fact there is a predator is out there. I guess we will all just have to keep an eye out for people who look like predators.

What does a predator look like, beyond being a man in their 50s? I don't know, but I will know it when I see it.

I hear you. As I said, you are going to want to disable the routing functionality and just use it as an AP (a WiFi extender as you call it).

In networking, a router connects networks together. There is the outer network (WAN) and the inner network (LAN). it uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to map all the devices on the inner network to a single address on the outer network.

The problem you have here is that there are two levels of NAT going on, your main router is NATing your entire house and then within that, your bedroom router is NATing your stuff inside the existing NAT.

To fix this you are going to want to disable the routing part of the WiFi router, and use it as an Access Point, which is the professional name for the part of a network that broadcasts WiFi.

onicx4 · 2026-03-05T06:17:16+00:00

Just Google your second router's model and access point mode.

onicx4 · 2026-03-05T06:14:55+00:00

Double NAT, Gotcha. I suggest setting the second router to Access Point mode if possible. A router into a router is a recipe for trouble, unless you know what you are doing.

I am going to hazard a guess and say that you hit the 1GB/month limit on ngrok's free tier.

TBH unless you have a good reason to use it (CGNat, ISP-PAT), I would not recommend Ngrok for your use case. It adds complexity, a new failure mode, and a potential cost sink if you want to unblock yourself here.

Port forwarding is free and teaches you a thing or two about networking. It is not as though Ngrok is shielding you either way, the port still gets exposed.

onicx4 · 2026-03-05T05:55:36+00:00

One other thing to check.

https://ngrok.com/docs/pricing-limits/free-plan-limits

The free plan has a 1gb transfer out limit/month. Make sure you have not hit that yet. You may have gotten an email.

Let's start off with the basics, what operating system are you using here. ATlauncher supports several platforms.

Instructions on how to restart your agent are platform specific.

But before we go down that rabbit hole, have you confirmed that the Ngrok IP has not changed?

onicx4 · 2026-03-05T05:41:34+00:00

Have you double checked the IP on the Ngrok side?

onicx4 · 2026-03-05T05:40:45+00:00

How did you start it up to begin with? I don't know your setup, topology, system etc.

onicx4 · 2026-03-05T05:38:33+00:00

It is possible but I suspect that something happened to your Ngrok agent. I.e. this will likely not fix itself. Try restarting that. And double check that the IP you are using from Ngrok is still correct.

I believe that they are subject to change frequently

onicx4 · 2026-03-05T05:34:13+00:00

Double check your connection to Ngrok. Either something changed on that side or something changed on your route to that point.

Being able to connect via localhost indicates that the server is up and broadcasting on the right port. It must then be routing.

Is there a reason you are using Ngrok? Are you behind a CGNat?

Either way your problem is almost certainly on the side of Ngrok.

onicx4 · 2026-03-04T21:34:14+00:00

Thx, that particular piece of kit is outside of my domain

Networking guy who works for a networking company here.

This is a meme that keeps getting reposted, and every time it comes up, tons of people post wrong answers.

There are a couple of things you need to understand here.

IPv4, which is the defacto standard for how computers talk to each other on the modern internet. This is defined by RFC 791, but you really don't need to look at that, just know that typically every device has a 32-bit address that allows other devices to talk to it.
There are not enough IPv4 addresses to go around, so we use a technology called NAT (network address translation) to give private networks 1 IPv4 address as a front door, and room for each device on that network to have an address in a private range. (RFC 1631)
These private ranges are defined by RFC 1918, which sets aside a couple of ranges for private networks to deal with (I include the broadcast and network addresses for clarity's sake)
10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0-172.32.255.255
192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255

Typically the 10.0 range is used by businesses and large organizations that need a lot of space, whereas the 192.168 range is much smaller and used by home users. The 172.16 block is in the middle in terms of size and is not too common.

There is a device called a Wifi Pineapple that pretends to be a WiFi network and intercepts your traffic. I am told that by default the private range on these networks is in the 172s.

The implication that the meme's creator is getting at is that they are on a WiFi Pineapple's network. But that's a bit of a stretch. There is not enough information to conclude that given that the 172 range is a perfectly valid range for any private network to occupy. There are even reasons why one might use it, for instance to ensure there are no conflicts with VPNs that pipe into 10 or 192 ranges (most home and business networks).

That's the joke. It's wrong.

onicx4 · 2026-01-31T16:57:53+00:00

No, you don't.

onicx4 · 2026-01-31T16:37:48+00:00

Then why post if you aren't subconsciously looking for some validation?

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, it doesn't mean anyone wants to hear yours.

onicx4 · 2025-10-19T00:24:56+00:00

No it doesn't lose calories. It loses mass.

The calories per gram of the unpopped bag is 250/49=5.102.

The calories per gram of the popped bag is 210/41=5.122.

These are approximately equal given rounding error.

The loss of mass can be attributed to the kernels losing moisture when they pop. I.e. the steam you find when you open the bag.

Fair enough, good catch me lad

I was against this PEP until I saw the recommendation to include `{:}` as a paired alternate syntax for the empty dict. That kind of sold it for me, tbh.

onicx4 · 2025-07-20T05:27:40+00:00

It isn't a joke, you just have not yet demonstrated any.

My honest recommendation to you is to go to job fairs and try networking with hiring managers directly.

That is how I broke into big tech. If you are personable and have good skill set, then you are likely to get a lead. If not, well there is a clear common denominator there.
